Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 1%, 1916.

Application filed December 9, 1914. Serial No. 876,353.

. To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JULIUS CHEIN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Montclair, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Barrows, of. which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in barrows, and the object of my invention is to provide a simple and convenient device for supporting and strengthening a barrow. l accomplish this object by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which t Figure l is a view of the wheel barrow provided with my improved device and Fig. 2 is a detail view of the supporting and strengthening brace.

Similar characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

On the underside of a barrow 1 having handles 2 I provide a supporting and strengthening brace constructed of a strip of iron or the like 3 having sections bent downwardly to form legs 4 and 5, the end sections 4: and 5' of which are bent outwardly to form feet. Adjacent the legs 4: and 5 are formed loops 6 and 7 to receive the handles 2 of the barrow 1. These loops Copies of thispatent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Eatentw, Washington, D. C.

serve to secure the handles and to hold them firmly in position. The brace 3 I provide with apertures 8 and 9 through which may be inserted rivets or the like by which the brace 3 is secured to the barrow 1. As many of these braces may be provided as desired but in the usual form of wheel barrow having a single wheel 10 journaled at one end of the handles 2 but one supporting brace is required.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is: p

The combination with a wheel barrow having a body and handle members underlying the same, of a combined brace and legs including an integral metallic strip centrally formed to underlie and bear against the body and formed beyond the central portion with depressions to receive and partly embrace the handle bars, the strip in both directions beyond the depressions being extended downwardly to form legs.

Signed at New York in the county of New York and State of New York this 1st day of December A. D. 1914.
